If you live in the United Kingdom and you’re planning on picking up the Xperia Z, then you might want to get your order in as early as possible. Sony is giving those who pre-order before February 27 a free pair of its MDR-1R headphones, which usually sell for $299.99 (approx. £190).

UK retailer, Carphone Warehouse, jumped the gun a bit by launching their pre-order page for the LG Nexus 4. The next Nexus device isn’t scheduled to be announced until Monday at a Google press event in NYC. I suppose we’ve already heard all there is to know, but having a legitimate retailer page chock full of specs can’t hurt.

While every carrier has given us some sort of heads up on an availability schedule for the Galaxy Note II, Verizon hasn’t said a word. Then, out of the blue, they begin taking pre-orders. Don’t expect to see any DROID RAZR marketing blitz for the Galaxy Note II, as it seems Verizon simply hates Samsung. Don’t believe me? Just look at the horrendous Verizon logo they stamped on the middle function button of the Note II. And don’t get me started on the non-existent marketing for the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Nexus

Online mobile retailer, Wirefly, continues their trend of discounting top-tier devices. Today, they have begun taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S III on Sprint, and if you want to save a few bucks, you’ll want to order from them. Not only will you save yourself about $20, but you’ll also get the same June 21 ship date, free-shipping, and a 30-day pre-order price guarantee..

We’ve already told you about T-Mobile and Sprint’s plans for the Samsung Galaxy S III, so let’s talk about a carrier whose LTE speeds and coverage are worth a damn — Verizon. While most carriers were pretty clear on their plans for the Galaxy S III, Verizon, as always, is playing the guessing game. They were kind enough to let us know that pre-orders for the Galaxy S III would start Wednesday June 6th, but when customers can expect to actually receive those pre-orders is anyone’s guess.
